“I really can’t believe this. All these women have no idea that their videos and photos are being spread online by those bãstårds. Those women getting viölated. Why are there men like that? How could they do such a thing? How?”
Archie is pursued by Jigs’ låpdögs, just as Jigs ditches her dear cousin to connect with his lackeys. At Balai Arkitektura, Consuelo commends her son and Axel for the great work they’ve done with the company.
Axel leaves to have a talk with Rica and Consuelo notices that Kyle is distracted as he can’t seem to stop staring at them. Rica bombards Axel with questions about Kyle’s mother, worried of the possibility that she hates her.
Axel says madam CC is only curious because she had seen her at her son’s house earlier. He asks if her approval is that important to her and Rica replies in the affirmative, saying that she’s Kyle’s mother and also like a mother to Axel. Rica brings up the nightmare Kyle had been having last night.
Axel can’t help but to think about the scene he had walked in on. He asks that they talk the day after tomorrow about something which seems to confuse Rica. She soon approaches Rose to inform her that she would be pursuing her case against Jigs. Rose is excited. Axel notifies Chino of his intention to confess his feelings to Rica.
“But…that’s cheating, dude,” Chino laments. “Kyle already said he wouldn’t act on his feelings. And you agreed that you’d do the same thing too.”
“After tomorrow, I’ll tell her the truth,” Axel declares.
Karla meets up with Troy who gladly hugs her after receiving confirmation of Rica’s decision to continue fighting for justice. They discuss about finding Ella since they believe she’s the only key to bring a strong case against Jigs.
Troy suggests that they ask for Archie’s help again since it’s been confirmed that he had leaked the video out of anger towards Jigs. Speaking of, Archie is still on the road and trying to get away from Jigs’ lapdogs.
Kyle runs into Rica at the pantry and they’re left staring at each other for a while before carrying on with their businesses. Rica asks of his wound and Kyle thanks her for taking care of him.
Rica says he can count on her since he’s always been there for her. She nervously explains the reason why she had been holding her hand and as they stare at each other again, Consuelo comes to observe for a while before prompting Kyle of their dinner date with Axel.
Troy has a talk with Karla and expresses his regret of losing Karla and Rica because he hadn’t stood up to his father back then. Though Karla tries to stop him, Troy says that he would choose her if he could do it all over again. Karla considers telling Dan about their arrangement since she thinks it would be best if they all work together.
She however worries about how her husband might react. The mayor then receives a phone call from an unknown number. Jigs rendezvouses with his lackeys who inform him of Archie’s escape. They then decide to drive around in hopes of finding him.
Meanwhile, Dan walks out of some attorney’s office, only to spot Archie getting out of his car and walking cautiously. He glares like nobody’s business. A moment later, Archie pulls over at the meeting place of Karla and the mayor, with Dan following behind on his motorbike.
Archie hands Troy the evidence he had compiled and apologizes to Karla for the trouble he had caused before hurrying away in his car. At Balai Arkitektura, Chino tries to convince Rica not to meet up with Axel the day after tomorrow.
Cue in a phone call from Karla and the next thing we know, junior architect is at attorney Dizon’s office where she learns of the evidence Archie had provided. Rica proceeds to check out the files and she’s horrified with the contents, even much so when she sees her video with Jigs in the group chat.
Cecilia notifies her daughter about her treatment plans once they get to Dumaguete. When she leaves to prepare dinner, Ella turns on her phone and when a call comes in from Archie, she painstakingly picks up. Archie assures her that he’s finally done the right thing for her. He then pleads for another chance with her.
Back at the lawyer’s office, Rica expresses her outrage over what she had just witnessed, appalled that Jigs and his låpdögs had viçtimized many other women apart from her.
“I really can’t believe this,” Rica wails. “All these women have no idea that their videos and photos are being spread online by those bãstårds. Those women trusted those men, only for them to end up getting violated. Why are there men like that, mom? How could they do such a thing? How?”
Dan, Laura and Troy look on sadly as Karla comforts her daughter with a hug. Meanwhile, Archie is unfortunate to run into Jigs and his låpdögs. They gang up on him and Jigs roughs him up a bit and threatens not to go easy on him next time if he doesn’t stop messing with them.
To their surprise, Archie just laughs. Jigs gets upset and beats him up some more, and even as his lackeys join the fun, Archie continues laughing to upset them all the more.
Laura briefs everyone about the process to get the evidence authenticated before it can be used in a law court. She suggests that they reach out to all of the victims so they can also file cases against Jigs, and Rica offers to talk to them if they’re not cooperative.
At the restaurant, Consuelo dines with the boys and asks about Rica. Kyle says there’s nothing going on but Axel surprises him by admitting the he’s hoping to have something with Rica. Madam CC sees through her son’s act.
“You two are fighting over a girl?” Consuelo says in disbelief.
Attorney Dizon asks the Sicat couple to keep everything they have learned a secret from everyone, even from their other kids so the information doesn’t slip out accidentally. Dan begins throwing a fit over Tupas’ betrayal. He provokes Troy with his ranting so the mayor demands that he shut his mouth and stop questioning his intentions.
Consuelo worries that the boys’ friendship could be ruined because of the situation. Kyle assures her that it’s fine because they had both agreed not to try to court Rica, adding that they’re just going to be there for her. Consuelo starts talking down at her and both guys come to her defense. Kyle assures her that Rica is a good person.
Dan gets in Troy’s face. “If you truly cared about Rica, then you would have taken her side right from the start. Didn’t you know you were raising that kind of man in your family? If you knew and did nothing about it, then everything that happened to Rica, and to all those ãbũsed women, it’s all your fault. You and your whole family!”
Dumbfounded, Troy only stares and glances at Rica. Meanwhile, Audrey tries to convince Alberto to have Mr. Mercado honor his deal with Troy since the situation is ruining his reputation. The cold-hearted patriarch refuses to stop making her husband’s life misërãble until he comes to his senses.
Speaking of, Troy arrives home looking so dejected. He recalls Dan’s accusations earlier and sinks to the floor, seemingly having some kind of panic ãttaçk. Raven hurries to his side and the episode concludes as Troy hugs and holds onto her tightly. https://youtu.be/Ld5iOMPcjfA
